I just got the fascinate last week, so I'm still trying to figure all of this out. When I first set up the phone I chose to turn on the call announce feature thinking it would announce once and then ring...it doesn't. I have been trying for the life of me to figure out how to turn the stupid feature off with no luck. Please help....how do I turn call announce off? Thanks Amber :)

It announces "call from..." and then the name or number of the person calling over and over. It's rather annoying lol!

Try Settings->Call Settings-->Caller ID Readout--> Ring only

I do not have a stock Fascinate and have never experienced this but hopefully we can turn it off without master resetting it

I have the same problem, and I don't know how it ever got to call announce. However when I went to Settings->Call Settings-->I did not have Caller ID readout or Ring Only selection. What I do have under Call Setting is
Voicemail Service
Voicemail
Ignore with message
Auto retry
DTMF tones
TTY Mode
Voice privacy


Any ideas
Thanks

No, that setting was already unchecked. I talked to VZ support and they were baffled, then they got Samsung support involved and they could not figure it out either. Samsung said to do the factory reset, which I am not quite ready for that yet. Still searching.
